WILAYA: Green Colour Block Woven Basket

These soothing sapling green and white colour block baskets are ethically produced in three handy sizes, woven from sustainably sourced sisal grass by artisan women in rural Kenya. Use your new woven storage basket for keeping jewellery, toiletries and stationery organized, or fill yours with fruit, dried flowers, children’s toys, remote controls, rugs, gloves and hats. These round sisal baskets make excellent desk tidies, toy baskets and woven planters for your houseplants – and inspired new home gifts. Whichever way you choose to use your new colour block basket it is sure to bring a dash of texture and pastel-hued joy to your home.  

Basket weaving within a group empowers women to support their families with a flexible income in the dry seasons, where subsistence farming becomes unsustainable. We have worked with this weaving group for several years now and we visit them as often as we can, and the women in this particular group are simply brilliant at producing an array of gorgeous colours through meticulous hand dyeing.  Basket weaving is in these women’s blood:  all have woven from a young age and will continue to pass this precious legacy on to future generations thanks to your purchases.
